152. Stupid hide.
Tue Nov 10, 2015, 07:49 PM
Nov 2015

No doubt alerted and voted on by people who would a) say one or more of the eight things without b) ever once realizing how they soumd.

The things listed are NOT ways to win friends and influence people.

I am a Bernie Sandernista. I also think there needs to be an intervention to stop what is.... marble falls Nov 2015 #1
It's too damned late for Bernie and his supporters to connect with POC I think. upaloopa Nov 2015 #2
Totally makes sense Gore1FL Nov 2015 #57
DU has little effect on anything I think ismnotwasm Nov 2015 #117
Doubt it. I don't think "minorities" are the thin-skinned shallow idiots you think them to be. n/t Gore1FL Nov 2015 #163
You are really confused by this conversation aren't you? Most people when clearly over their Number23 Nov 2015 #214
Problem is bigger than DU.. this behavior is all over the net and it's been noticed by so many Cha Nov 2015 #166
If you say so. Gore1FL Nov 2015 #186
i've noticed this re-packaged DU:Bernie narrative ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #188
Not my narrative. Cha said that the entire comunity was swayed by mean people Gore1FL Nov 2015 #192
So the "research" point just fell upon the screen? ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #194
I think members of the African American community are able to research the candidates. Gore1FL Nov 2015 #198
I have spoken to that (re-packaged) "research" B.S., ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #200
Self-described is an insult? Your handle self describes you as 1strongblackman! Gore1FL Nov 2015 #204
Sighhh ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #205
Not at all. Gore1FL Nov 2015 #206
It makes me feel nothing. n/t 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #207
Understood. sheshe2 Nov 2015 #218
Don't put words in my mouth. I think African Americans are as dedicated and passionate.. Cha Nov 2015 #189
I thought you implied that the community was swayed by harsh wordsa and not facts. Gore1FL Nov 2015 #191
Get a grip.. I'm not insulting African Americans. Cha Nov 2015 #193
At least not intentionally, I suppose. n/t Gore1FL Nov 2015 #197
Ha.. now you're on to the innuendoes. Cha Nov 2015 #199
Ha! Gore1FL Nov 2015 #203
Could you please take your intrusion and willful distortions of what is very clearly being said Number23 Nov 2015 #211
Post removed Post removed Nov 2015 #212
Your inability to understand something does not make it a willfull distortion Number23 Nov 2015 #213
Wow, thank you so much, Number23! I misread his post in the first place or I never would Cha Nov 2015 #217
The sad irony is I tried to warn them from day one and got shouted down... Blue_Tires Nov 2015 #121
Bravenak did the same. And all she got for her efforts was the Wrath of Simpletons Number23 Nov 2015 #122
You sure did tell me! bravenak Nov 2015 #128
And I also told you about some of those folks you were running around with last year too Number23 Nov 2015 #133
Hee hee!!! bravenak Nov 2015 #134
All she has to do is STOP speaking her truth and (a segment of) DU will leave her alone ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #6
Yeah, but I want her here AND I want her speaking truth even when I disagree. She's one person... marble falls Nov 2015 #7
Absolutely. I'm so sick of this garbage. SusanCalvin Nov 2015 #149
3 of my past 5 juries have been on her Recursion Nov 2015 #12
I'm doing almost a jury a day and at least 80% seem personal. I've never been on a Bravenak jury.... marble falls Nov 2015 #16
I'm also on a jury nearly every day (very unusual). betsuni Nov 2015 #19
Yes, and many also target Bernie supporters for utterly trivial reasons. Alerting is being used peacebird Nov 2015 #72
I suspect ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #82
Been on a few of those juries, and they seem to equal in number those on HRC supporters... marble falls Nov 2015 #89
Relatively even in which side received the alert unc70 Nov 2015 #104
I am a group host in this Group along with 1Strongblackman JustAnotherGen Nov 2015 #180
I wasn't trying for disruption unc70 Nov 2015 #196
YES!!!! Can we please do this?!? n/t Digital Puppy Nov 2015 #157
LOL ... and one only needs to read the ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #80
A few of the alerters I suspect have very high posting numbers. marble falls Nov 2015 #153
Oh ... I'm certain of it. n/t 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #154
And >75% of my juries in the last 3 months have been on Sanders supporters jeff47 Nov 2015 #76
I'm so sure ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #93
I've long supported more transparency in the jury system jeff47 Nov 2015 #96
"Skinner feels more transparency would lead to greater animosity" SusanCalvin Nov 2015 #150
can you link me to the hide randys1 Nov 2015 #102
I keep hearing the "both sides do it" argument but Hillary supporters are not hunting the AA forum Number23 Nov 2015 #123
They're busy hunting the Sanders forum. jeff47 Nov 2015 #125
The hosts only see SOP alerts not alerts on disruptive posts Number23 Nov 2015 #127
Added this while you were replying jeff47 Nov 2015 #129
I have no idea what your post is supposed to mean or why in God's name you think Saddam's Number23 Nov 2015 #131
There were lots and lots of stories making that claim. Did that make it true? jeff47 Nov 2015 #142
This is easily one of the most laughably stupid things I've ever seen anyone post anywhere on this Number23 Nov 2015 #146
I gave him the second warning directly below JustAnotherGen Nov 2015 #179
Some of the stuff these people say around here is nothing short of surreal Number23 Nov 2015 #210
We only see SOP alerts - Group Host JustAnotherGen Nov 2015 #178
Most of the people on this board are Sanders supporters, so that makes sense. nt MADem Nov 2015 #176
I too am a Bernie supporter Lazy Daisy Nov 2015 #14
I would not have hidden for any of the "8 Things" but the picture is problematic Jim Lane Nov 2015 #35
I totally agree. There is no reason for all of the attacks just because we do not agree with a LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #17
Who would lead such an intervention? brer cat Nov 2015 #26
Some simple changes to the alert/jury system might help..... marble falls Nov 2015 #46
As with most things, systemic/institutional change only comes about ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #110
